Captain Panther for America

"We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another."
-- Lucretius


It is that time again America, to pick the men and women to take a seat on capitol hill as your congress members. This time is different though. This time we have 2 states, and have lost 49. These are difficult and trying times for Americans, but I come now to implore that you pick me to bring your voice to the American government, and help rebuild our great nation.
Long have the little people been forgotten in the eUS, and that I say, must stop now. The big shots who have run the country for so long have let us down, and it is time for a new generation of Americans to pick up the smoldering torch, and nurture it back to it's former glory. It is up to each and every one of us to take responsibility.
This is no time for us to quit, for us to capitulate ourselves to the PEACE dogs that bark down our doorstep.

America, this is a defining moment in our history.

I am always available to contact by PM, or you can reach me on the Federalist Party forums:

There you can also find links to our various IRC channels, which I will be on after about 5pm EST on weekdays, all day on weekends. Anyone is welcome to ask me questions in any way, shape, or form they so desire.

In short:
1) The education of our new players should be the #1 issue on our government's plate. What good is a baby boom if none of those babies know how to play?
2) It is time our government involved the everyday guy. The status quo of centralized government has failed, and it is time for a change.
3) The US military needs the support of every citizen. This should have been a no-brainer, but some people still feel like trolling.
4) Lastly, it is a goal of mine to bring peace between US citizens and parties. Inter-party bickering has cost us greatly, and this too, must change.

Now for the tl;dr section:

Revival of America
Do you want to know how to best bring America back to her feet? Then listen closely.
We must be destroyed. Now, before you call me crazy, it's really a rather obvious choice. If we were to let PEACE take out all our states, we would then hold the power in our hands. We could open RWs against Russia, Portugal, etc., and those RWs would be Open Wars. Therefore, we could take on the nations of PEACE, essentially, 1 on 1. This would be a much better situation as opposed to struggling against their combined forces (MPPs). The US military is more than strong enough to take on the invaders individually, as it was their alliance that beat us.

This is a literal phoenix situation. We must first be killed to be reborn.

Education
There is no excuse for how much our government has slacked on new player education. The Training Division has been infamous about letting players slip though the cracks, and that is inexcusable. Education has been a long time issue for me, and my recent project of creating a Federalist Party specific Training Division is evidence therefor. I am personal friends with the head of both the Mentorship Program and DoE, Bill Brasky, with whom I will work to create the best programs our government can concerning education. In fact, I am an eUS mentor myself.

Fighting PEACE
PEACE is currently the strongest military alliance on earth. However, the machine can be stopped. We have seen with the recent Non-Aggression Pact proposed with PEACE that America is still a divided land to the bitter end. However, we cannot limit our opportunities for survival. Peace with PEACE may be in the best interest of America. Sometimes, we must put aside our pride and swallow our medicine. A treaty, one with America's interests in mind, would allow the US to survive, kick Russia all the way back to FER, and thereafter, flourish.

However, the treaty currently up to vote is NOT what America needs. I wish to fully express my disliking of the treaty currently up for proposal. At the original publication of this article, I had not yet looked at the terms of the new treaty, one of which gives New Jersey to Russia. That is ridiculous, and this treaty should not be accepted.

Party Squabbles
While our country burned right in front of us, some were not willing to drop partisan politics for the betterment of the USA. Some have still not realized that this must change, and I will do all that lies within my power to bring change to this issue. I will work with other parties to secure organization and unity as PEACE assimilation looms, thus securing a safer future for all Americans.

Unity
This is a time where we must live up to our name as the UNITED States of America. We must be willing to follow the orders of our government to ensure the lasting safety of America and her citizens. The time for ignoring the man is over. A government, run for the people, must be what we all gather around if this war turns darkest.

I end this article with this:

Do not give up, America.
Fight, America.
To the last man, we must fight, America!

These are the times which define a people, and it's our turn to choose who we will be. Losers, I don't think so. We'll win. One way or another, we will find victory, and the US will be reborn from the ashes.

Thank you all.
